- German discount chain is recalling the items because the labels aren’t in English
Lidl is urgently recalling two varieties of its Favorina Chocolate Dip Eggs because they pose a risk to those with food allergies – and the warnings are not written in English.
The Cocoa Crème and Milk Crème eggs – which have a best before date of July 30, 2018 – contain milk and may also contain gluten, egg, peanut, soya and nuts.
The German discount supermarket said it ordered a recall of the product on Friday because the packages are not labelled in English.

A warning on the Food Standards UK website urged customers with allergies or intolerances not to eat the product.
They are told to instead return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund.
‘Due to a labelling error, Lidl Ireland is recalling the above mentioned products as there is no English on the product label,’ Lidl said.
‘If you are allergic or intolerant to any of the above, do not consume this product, instead return the product to a Lidl store for a full refund.’
MailOnline has contacted Lidl for further comment.
